Window mastic in Baker Street
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you are dealing with hard, cracked sealant around windows and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Baker Street, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What else we do in Baker Street
What window mastic looks like in Baker Street
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around St Giles & All Saints Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Grays station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Baker Street is about 2 miles north-east of Grays, in Thurrock. We provide window mastic to householders, landlords and businesses in Baker Street and nearby. Our area takes in 26 places across Thurrock, large and small. For nearby work, see our Chelmsford page.
Work in RM16 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether your property is on High Road and Baker Street or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. If you’re just outside Baker Street, we cover Orsett (1 mile north-east), Southfields (1 mile east), Bulphan (3 miles north), West Horndon (4 miles north) and East Horndon (5 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Stanford-le-Hope (4 miles east), South Ockendon (3 miles west), Balstonia (3 miles east), Corringham (5 miles east), Aveley (5 miles west) and Tilbury (3 miles south).
What’s near Baker Street
In Baker Street, that means homes and buildings near Treetops School, William Edwards School and Sports College and Whitmore Arms Public House and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Grays station, roughly 2.7 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Orsett Hospital (less than half a mile east) and Ealing Broadway Centre (2.3 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Chafford Gorges Nature Park and Sawyers Lake.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Faulty window hardware
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Composite doors

What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Baker Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Baker Street
Landlords and letting agents in Baker Street can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Common problems we fix in Baker Street
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Orsett Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What guarantee comes with the work
